Colorado Springs Housing Update

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

The Wall Street Journal advised readers “it’s time to buy a house”.

Builder Magazine ranks Colorado Springs No. 7 on their Top 20 list of healthiest markets for 2012.

The Gazette reports local home sales jumped over 20% in October 2011 over the same month last year. This increase in home sales was the fourth consecutive month of year-over-year increases in home sales.

Single-family home sales totaled 7,164 through October 2011 in the Pikes Peak region, representing a 2.3% increase over the same period last year.

According to the Pikes Peak Association of Realtors, the inventory of available homes fell by nearly 23% through October 2011 to 3,959. This is the lowest point in nearly two years and represents the fewest number of listings in any month since December of 2009.

According to the US Census Bureau, the homeownership rate posted a highly unexpected rise in the third quarter of 2011.

Colorado Springs homebuilders saw a large jump last month in the pace of new home construction. Single-family building permits in the Springs and El Paso County saw a 36.3% increase over the same month a year ago, according the Pikes Peak Regional Building department.

30 year fixed mortgage rates are still hovering at or below 4% with minimum down payments as low as 3.5% depending of the type of loan.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the local unemployment rate in September fell to 9.3% (the lowest level in nearly two years) as nearly 1,800 El Paso County residents returned to the job market

What does this mean to consumers as unemployment declines, mortgage rates and home prices rise, and the inventory of available new homes in Colorado Springs continues to shrink?  It means you need to act now to totally realize the full benefits of the best time in the last 50 years to purchase a new home in Colorado Springs while new home builders are still offering incentives, there’s plentiful new home inventory, and interest rates are at historic lows! It means you need to act now so you too will look back in two years and see that you made one of the best investments of your lifetime.

If you’re ready to jump in the water and take advantage of the best time in the last fifty years to purchase a new home in Colorado Springs, consider Campbell Homes. Since 1965 Campbell Homes has been building energy efficient stylish and comfortable new homes for sale in Colorado Springs in the safe and secure locations and master planned Colorado Springs Communities with excellent community amenities and the best schools in Colorado Springs. Heck, we’ll even throw in a free finished basement (but, only until the end of the year)!

Starting in the low $200s, NEW Campbell Homes are available for immediate move in for homebuyers looking to take advantage of spectacular fall savings prices and 2011 tax advantages! New Campbell Homes come standard with peace of mind and a guaranteed move-in date in seven Colorado Springs locations.
